(1. Configuration of coin processing device)
An example of the configuration of the coin processing device 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. FIG. 1 is a schematic front view showing an example of an internal configuration of a coin processing apparatus 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a schematic left side view showing an example of the internal configuration of the coin processing apparatus 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention.

  The coin processing device 1 manages coins handled by a register installed in a store or the like. For example, the coin processing apparatus 1 performs deposit processing and counting processing of coins carried by a store clerk from a register. Moreover, the coin processing apparatus 1 performs the withdrawal process of the coin by the withdrawal or exchange of a coin as a change reserve used in the register.

  As shown in FIG. 1, a coin processing device 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a coin insertion unit 2, a coin deposit unit 3, a reject coin storage unit 4, a deposit temporary storage unit 11, and a return box 13. The hopper 15 by money type, the dispensing box 17, and the control unit 40 are included.

  The coin insertion unit 2 is a part that receives the coin C to be inserted. The coin insertion part 2 may be located above the coin processing apparatus 1 and on the front side. The coin insertion part 2 is widely open so that a plurality of coins can be easily input in a lump. The coins inserted into the coin insertion unit 2 fall into the coin depositing unit 3.

  The coin depositing unit 3 is located below the coin inserting unit 2 and determines the authenticity and denomination of the coins dropped from the coin inserting unit 2 one by one. For example, the coin depositing unit 3 includes a sensor for recognizing a coin, and determines the true / false of the coin and the denomination based on the characteristics of the coin detected by the sensor. Moreover, the coin deposit part 3 conveys a coin based on a determination result. Coins that are determined not to be normal by the coin depositing unit 3 are sent to the reject coin storage unit 4. On the other hand, the coin determined to be normal by the coin depositing unit 3 is sent to the holding units 11a to 11f.

  The reject coin storage unit 4 stores coins that are determined to be not normal by the coin deposit unit 3. Referring to FIG. 2, a reject chute for guiding a coin determined to be abnormal from the coin depositing unit 3 to the reject coin storage unit 4 is arranged (arranged along the route indicated by the arrow R shown in FIG. 2). The reject coin storage unit 4 has a door that can be opened and closed on the front surface of the coin processing apparatus 1, and when the door is open, the user can pull out the reject coin storage unit 4 to the outside of the apparatus.

  The temporary depositing unit 11 temporarily stores the coins determined to be normal by the coin depositing unit 3 in the denomination. The temporary deposit storage unit 11 includes storage units 11a to 11f which are storage units of denominations arranged in a straight line by dividing the inside of the frame surrounding the four surrounding surfaces into denominations. Referring to FIG. 2, a chute Q is provided for guiding the coins determined to be normal by the coin depositing unit 3 to the holding units 11 a to 11 f.

  The return box 13 stores coins returned to the user. Specifically, the return box 13 is shown in FIG. 2 when the deposit temporary storage unit 11 moves in the right direction when viewed from the rear side of the coin processing apparatus 1 (left direction as viewed in FIG. 1 from above the page). The coins that fall from the deposit temporary storage unit 11 are stored along the route indicated by the arrow H. The return box 13 can be pulled out of the apparatus from the front of the coin processing apparatus 1 by the user.

  The money type hopper 15 stores the received coins in the money type. The money type hopper 15 has an opening in the upper part through which coins falling from the deposit temporary storage unit 11 pass. For this reason, the denomination hopper 15 receives the temporary depositing unit 11 when the depositing temporary storage unit 11 moves in the left direction as viewed from the back of the coin processing apparatus 1 (from the upper side of the drawing to the right in FIG. 1). A coin that falls from 11 through a route indicated by an arrow S in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the denomination hopper 15 includes denomination hoppers 15 a to 15 f arranged in a straight line so as to correspond to the detention units 11 a to 11 f of denomination. Each of the denomination hoppers 15a to 15f may be capable of storing one type of coins of 500 yen, 100 yen, 50 yen, 10 yen, 5 yen, and 1 yen coin. Further, the denomination hoppers 15a to 15f are detachably attached to the apparatus main body. Each of the denomination hoppers 15a to 15f has a function of storing one or a plurality of coins and a function of feeding out one or a plurality of coins one by one.

  The withdrawal box 17 can store coins that are paid out from the hopper 15 by money type during the withdrawal process. The dispensing box 17 may be provided so as to be detachable from the apparatus main body. For example, the dispensing box 17 stores coins falling from the denomination hopper 15 along the route indicated by the arrow T in FIG.

  The control unit 40 controls the entire operation of the coin processing device 1. More specifically, the control unit 40 controls the operation of each component of the coin processing apparatus 1 when performing coin depositing and dispensing processing. For example, the coin processing device 1 includes a storage unit that stores a program for controlling the entire operation of the coin processing device 1 and various data, and the control unit 40 reads out the program stored by the storage unit. It can be realized by executing.

  As described above, each of the denomination hoppers 15a to 15f has a function of storing one or a plurality of coins and a function of feeding out one or a plurality of coins one by one. An example of the configuration will be described. In addition, since the money type hoppers 15b to 15f may be configured similarly to the money type hopper 15a, a detailed description of the configuration examples of the money type hoppers 15b to 15f is omitted.

  Here, foreign matter may be conveyed by the conveyance path in the coin depositing unit 3. Various techniques are known as techniques for removing such foreign substances. For example, a technique for removing foreign matter from a transport path by dropping the foreign matter into a hole provided in the transport path is known. In addition, a technique is known in which a foreign material is shaken off from a conveyance path by forming the conveyance path so that the conveyance direction is rapidly changed. In this technique, for example, it is assumed that the transport direction is suddenly changed by about 90 degrees.

  However, the above technique cannot remove the foreign matter on the transport path more efficiently. In view of this, the present specification proposes a technique that can more efficiently remove foreign matters in the conveyance path. More specifically, simply dropping a foreign object into a hole provided in the transport path may impose a limitation that the length of the hole must be increased as the transport speed in the transport path increases. However, according to the embodiment of the present invention, it is not necessary to increase the length of the hole so much even if the conveyance speed in the conveyance path increases.

  Further, if the transport path is formed so as to change the transport direction abruptly, a restriction may be imposed on the layout of the transport path. However, according to the embodiment of the present invention, restrictions imposed on the layout of the conveyance path can be suppressed. Moreover, according to the embodiment of the present invention, the possibility that the distance of the transport path becomes long can be reduced. In the following description, a case where foreign matters are conveyed by the conveyance path in the coin depositing unit 3 will be mainly described as an example, but the conveyance path may not be the conveyance path in the coin depositing unit 3.

  Then, the specific structure of the coin deposit part 3 is demonstrated. FIG. 3 is a schematic top view showing a detailed configuration example of the coin depositing unit 3. FIG. 4 is a schematic side view showing a detailed configuration example of the coin depositing unit 3. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the coin deposit unit 3 includes a coin feeding unit 20 and a recognition transport unit 30. The coin feeding unit 20 includes a support shaft 22b that can rotate the coin insertion unit 2 in a predetermined transport direction, and a rotation motor 22a that rotates the support shaft 22b.

Further, the coin feeding unit 20, the coins fed is rotated in a predetermined conveying direction from the coin input unit 2, one by one sandwiched therebetween capable feed roller 23a that feeds on the carrier plate 39, the 23b Have. For example, the feeding rollers 23a and 23b may be arranged side by side as shown in FIG. The coin feeding unit 20 has a feeding motor 24 that rotates the feeding rollers 23a and 23b. Note that the upper surface of the transport plate 39 may correspond to a transport path.

The recognition conveyance unit 30 includes a conveyance plate 39, a conveyance belt 37, pulleys 35a, 35b, and 35c, a recognition conveyance motor 36, a recognition unit 38a, and a recognition unit 38b. Carrier plate 39 carries the coins paid out feed rollers 23a, by 23b. The conveying belt 37, feed rollers 23a, the coins paid out being movably configured to be conveyed to the upper surface of the carrier plate 39 in a predetermined transport direction by 23b.

  The pulleys 35a, 35b, and 35c rotate while contacting the conveyor belt 37, thereby moving the conveyor belt 37 in a predetermined conveyance direction. The recognition conveyance motor 36 is connected to the pulley 35b and rotates the pulley 35b. The recognition unit 38a and the recognition unit 38b recognize coins conveyed on the upper surface of the conveyance plate 39.

  For example, the recognition unit 38 a is configured by a magnetic sensor, and recognizes the characteristics (for example, material, thickness, etc.) of the coins that are transported on the upper surface of the transport plate 39. On the other hand, for example, the recognition unit 38b is configured by an optical sensor, and recognizes the characteristics (for example, shape) of the coins conveyed on the upper surface of the conveyance plate 39. The shape of the coin may be the outer diameter of the coin, the presence or absence of a coin hole, and the like. Based on the characteristics of the recognized coins, the coin depositing unit 3 discriminates the authenticity and denomination of the coins one by one.

  A hole 50 is provided in the transport plate 39. By dropping the foreign matter into the hole 50, it is possible to remove the foreign matter from the transport plate 39. Furthermore, an adsorption member that adsorbs a predetermined object other than coins may be provided on the transport plate 39. The adsorbing member is preferably provided inside the hole 50. Since the suction member is provided in the hole 50, the foreign matter transported on the upper surface of the transport plate 39 is attracted to the suction member, so that the foreign matter can be more efficiently removed from the upper surface of the transport plate 39. is there.

  For example, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the predetermined object other than the coin is an object including a magnetic body, and a magnet 51 is provided inside the hole 50 as an example of an attracting member that attracts the magnetic body. It may be done. The magnetic body may be a ferromagnetic body (for example, iron, cobalt, nickel, etc.). In the following description, an example in which an object including a magnetic body is used as an example of a predetermined object other than a coin and a magnet 51 is used as an example of an attracting member will be described. It is not limited to such an example.

  Also, below the hole 50, in order to prevent coins falling from the transport plate 39 from entering the inside of the coin processing apparatus 1, the transport plate 39 and the coin processing apparatus 1 as shown in FIG. It is preferable that a fall prevention bracket 52 is provided for partitioning the interior. By providing the fall prevention bracket 52, it is possible to prevent coins from falling into the coin processing apparatus 1.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 4, the magnet 51 may be disposed on the bottom surface of the fall prevention bracket 52. Then, since the magnet 51 is disposed below the upper surface of the transport plate 39, foreign matter can be dropped onto the magnet 51 from the upper surface of the transport plate 39. The fall prevention bracket 52 is preferably made of a material capable of buffering the impact given to the foreign matter when the foreign matter is dropped. If it does so, the fallen foreign material can be more reliably stored in the inside of the fall prevention bracket 52.

  Although the position where the hole 50 is provided is not limited, as shown in FIG. 3, the hole 50 is located downstream of the feeding rollers 23a and 23b and upstream of the recognition unit 38a and the recognition unit 38b. It is good. Then, the foreign matter can be dropped into the hole 50 before reaching the recognition unit 38a and the recognition unit 38b, so that the foreign matter discriminated based on the recognition result in the recognition unit 38a and the recognition unit 38b is rejected. It is possible to reduce the number of operations to be performed.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the hole 50 may be provided in a region different from a region (hereinafter, also referred to as “coin transport region”) where coins are transported on the upper surface of the transport plate 39. . If it does so, it is possible to reduce possibility that the coin conveyed by the upper surface of the conveyance plate 39 will fall into the hole part 50. FIG. The coin conveyance area may include an area directly below the conveyance belt 37. In the example illustrated in FIG. 3, the hole 50 is provided on the right side of the upper surface of the transport plate 39 with respect to the transport direction, and the region where the coins are transported is provided on the left side. And the positional relationship between the area where the coins are conveyed is not limited.

  In FIG. 3, the length of the hole 50 is indicated as “Hd”, and the width of the hole 50 is indicated as “Hw”. In FIG. 4, the thickness of the transport plate 39 is indicated as “Ph”, the depth of the hole 50 is indicated as “Hh”, and the height of the magnet 51 is indicated as “Mh”. Although these sizes are not particularly limited, the length Hd of the hole 50 will be described in more detail later.

  FIG. 5 is an enlarged view of the periphery of the hole 50 in the transport plate 39. Although the position where the magnet 51 is provided is not limited, as shown in FIG. 5, the magnet 51 is provided on the side opposite to the coin conveyance area with reference to the middle line Cw of the hole 50 in the width direction of the upper surface of the conveyance plate 39. It should be done. Since the speed of the foreign matter has a component in a direction away from the coin transport area, if the magnet 51 is provided on the opposite side of the coin transport area with respect to the center line Cw, the foreign object is easily attracted to the magnet 51. Because the situation can happen. As described above, the coin conveyance area may include an area directly below the conveyance belt 37.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 5, the magnet 51 may be provided on the downstream side in the transport direction with reference to the middle line Cd of the hole 50 in the transport direction on the upper surface of the transport plate 39. Since the speed of the foreign matter has a component in the transport direction, if the magnet 51 is provided on the downstream side in the transport direction with respect to the center line Cd, a situation in which the foreign matter is likely to be attracted to the magnet 51 may occur. is there.

  Next, the length Hd of the hole 50 will be described in detail. FIG. 6 is an enlarged side view of the hole 50 for explaining the required hole length Hi that indicates a required length as the length Hd of the hole 50. As shown in FIG. 6, it is assumed that the foreign object N is transported on the top surface of the transport plate 39 at the transport speed V in the transport direction. The thickness of the foreign object N is shown as “Nh”. At this time, considering that the foreign object N is more securely contained in the fall prevention bracket 52 as described above, it is preferable that the foreign object N collides with the fall prevention bracket 52 instead of the transport plate 39.

  Therefore, the time (hereinafter also referred to as “required drop time”) t required for the foreign matter N to fall by the total value of the foreign matter thickness Nh and the transport plate thickness Ph (required fall depth Hh) is calculated. Then, the distance that the foreign object N moves in the transport direction during the required drop time t can be calculated as the required hole length Hi. FIG. 7 is a diagram showing a method for calculating the required hole length Hi. First, since the required fall depth Hh is a total value of the thickness Nh of the foreign matter and the thickness Ph of the transport plate, it can be expressed as shown in “Required fall depth” in FIG.

  Further, assuming that the initial velocity of the foreign object N in the vertical direction is zero and the gravitational acceleration is expressed as g, the following equation (1) is established.

Hh = Nh + Ph = 2 × g × t ² (1)

  When the above equation (1) is transformed, the required drop time t can be expressed as shown in “Required drop time” of FIG. Further, assuming that the foreign object N is moving at a constant speed in the transport direction while falling, the required hole length Hi is obtained by multiplying the required drop time t and the transport speed V. 7 as “required hole length”.

  Therefore, the length Hd of the hole 50 only needs to have at least the necessary hole length Hi that can be calculated in this manner. By doing so, the foreign object N can be made to collide with the fall prevention bracket 52 instead of the transport plate 39, so that the foreign object N can be more reliably contained within the fall prevention bracket 52.

In addition, although detailed description is omitted, the coin processing apparatus 1 performs the same operation during the counting process as during the depositing process.

  When the user inserts the coin C into the coin insertion unit 2, the inserted coin C falls into the coin deposit unit 3. The control unit 40 controls the coin depositing unit 3 so as to separate and feed the dropped coins C one by one. Next, the control unit 40 determines the authenticity and denomination of the fed coin C, and controls the coin deposit unit 3 so as to convey the determined coin C. At this time, the foreign matter transported on the transport plate 39 of the coin depositing unit 3 is attracted to the magnet 51 provided in the hole 50, so that the foreign matter can be more efficiently removed from the upper surface of the transport plate 39.

  The control unit 40 drops the coin C, which is determined to be abnormal by the coin depositing unit 3, to the reject coin storage unit 4. On the other hand, the control unit 40 causes the coin C determined to be normal by the coin depositing unit 3 to drop to the retaining units 11 a to 11 f corresponding to the denomination of the coin C in the deposit temporary retaining unit 11.

  When the accumulated amount (or accumulated number) of any of the coins in the holding units 11a to 11f reaches a predetermined set amount (set number), or when there is no coin in the coin deposit unit 3, the control unit 40 stops the operation of the coin depositing unit 3. Thereafter, after the operation of transporting the coin C in the coin depositing unit 3 and the operation of discriminating the coin C by the coin depositing unit 3 are completed, the process is temporarily terminated.

  Thereafter, the control unit 40 causes the display unit (not shown) to display the denomination amount or total amount based on the counting result. When the current process is a deposit process, the user who has viewed the display unit (not shown) selects and inputs whether or not the coins C can be stored using the operation buttons in the display screen.

  When the storage unit inputs the user, the control unit 40 moves the deposit temporary holding unit 11 in the direction indicated by the arrow S.

On the other hand, when the user inputs storage rejection (that is, cancellation of storage) or when the current process is a counting process, the control unit 40 moves the deposit temporary holding unit 11 in the direction indicated by the arrow H. Then, the coins C accumulated in the deposit temporary storage unit 11 fall along the route indicated by the arrow H and are stored in the return box 13.

(2-2. Operation during withdrawal process)
An example of the operation of the coin processing device 1 during the withdrawal process will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. The withdrawal process is started from the place where coins C are stored in the denomination hoppers 15a to 15f by denomination process.

  As the withdrawal process, first, when the user inputs the number of withdrawals of the coin C for each denomination on the withdrawal screen displayed on the display unit (not shown), the coin C is received from the denomination hoppers 15a to 15f. It is paid out. When the coin C is detected by the sensor, the control unit 40 recognizes that the coin C has been fed from the denomination hoppers 15a to 15f, and counts up the number of withdrawals being counted. When the number of withdrawals being counted reaches the inputted number of withdrawals, the control unit 40 stops feeding out the coins C, and the coins C fall along the route indicated by the arrow T and are stored in the withdrawal box 17. Is done.
